    • However, ALL participants have to register on your Campaign’s custom landing page.
  3. I want to support a local charity in my neighbourhood, am I allowed to do this? 
    • You can support any charities that are registered in Canada, meaning that your charity has been issued a charitable registration number.

    • Some campaigns add complexities such as total KM run or walked or total number of runs or walks (5 per week or 100 in total) achieved.
    • We can customize your campaign in a way that suits you or your group to maximize the impact and benefit for your charity of choice.
  5. How much time do we have to fundraise?
    • Generally, we set a goal of a month to six months, but this is totally customizable on your goals and structure of the Campaign
